why do you people delete your posts?
-
I do after months or years because I don't write them for posterity. I'm careless and fuck shit up a lot. Let the past fade into memory, or be forgotten, either way. This is not my blog.
Wow

Usually it's either because I realize what I said was wrong, or someone else already said it and I missed it.

Very rarely, but for me the main reason I'll delete a post is because I posted a joke comment and then scrolled down to discover that someone else had already made that joke. Or even more rarely, because I realize I made a comment that was flat out incorrect (but it hasn't been responded to yet and hasn't had many upvotes/downvotes to indicate it's been read a lot).
Otherwise, I leave all my comments up. I want AI to align with my values so I am glad they're in the training sets.

There was a user or two I would explicitly quote their whole comment because of this.
Had an other user constantly edit his post to add points after I replied which was much worse imo.
The only time I ever delete a comment is if it's within 30 seconds of posting it, as to not cause things like this.

I considered doing that too a while ago, but then realized it was more work & wasted time for us, right? While we could still see the whole thread risk being deleted because OP decides to? So I decided not to. Instead, I block the persons I've noticed doing that so I don't to waste my time reading their posts anymore in the future and won't risk wasting even more time trying to comment.
Simply put, since they consider it's ok for them to delete everyone's content who participated because they're unhappy about how it turned, well, I help them stay deleted once and for all from my feed

I do it when I leave. It's interesting for me to do it on discord servers and notice how the conversation still flows smoothly like i was never a part of it in the first place.

I generally only delete posts when I double post on accident. I'm happy to leave my stupidity on display because fuck it.
Same reason. It just sucks when you accidentally do a duplicate post, delete the duplicate, and it still shows up for some because of federation. Like I deleted one and it was still showing up on Piefed.

Cuz I said some stupid shit and wanted it gone before anyone noticed.
Unfortunately deletes don't always federate so it doesn't help

any time someone on here corrects your grammar or usage, just remember they absolutely didn't get picked for peer review for anything to Nature -

More often than not this is the reason right here. I post, then go reload to see my post out in the wild. Sometimes it takes a minute to realize I must erase its existence.

I don't really post, so I don't think I've ever deleted a post. As for comments, I think I've only deleted duplicates.
